For Carruth, it was his ninth career shutout, setting a franchise record, and his fifth shutout of the season, tying a club mark.

Another Winterhawks player set a franchise record Friday. Defenseman Troy Rutkowski played in his 327th career game.

Portland (38-7-1-2 in the Western Hockey League) scored twice on power plays in the first period while outshooting Spokane 19-8.

Ty Rattie scored his 24th goal of the season at 10:29, and Nic Petan scored his 32nd goal of the season at 17:22.

In the third period, the Winterhawks sealed the win, again on the power play, when Brendan Leipsic notched his 31st goal of the season.

Eric Williams made 34 saves for Spokane (30-17-2-0).

With his goal and an assist, Rattie has points in all nine Portland games so far this month, totaling five goals and 12 assists. His points streak is at 12 games, going back to before he left for the world junior championships.
